I’m a backend engineer with 16+ years of experience building scalable banking and data platforms. I work across distributed systems and event-driven architectures using Java, Python, REST APIs, Kafka, and microservices, with a strong focus on reliability for high-volume financial workloads. I enjoy designing secure, production-grade services and improving observability (metrics, tracing, dashboards) to speed up investigations and reduce operational risk. Lately, I’ve also been applying agentic AI approaches—like building an RCA assistant with Spring AI/LangChain4j—to correlate logs and incident data and help teams resolve issues faster.
